Improve breadcrumb navigation for missing n-key on item level

Feature Requests

Description

The TextAPI sets the n key on item level as optional: https://subugoe.pages.gwdg.de/emo/text-api/page/specs/#item-object

This key seems to be used for the breadcrumb navigation in the header for informing users where there are at the moment:

If n isn't present, we currently display a "No itemlabel :(" notification. Since n is optional we should discuss if such a prominent feature as the breadcrumb nav should depend on it.

User Stories

As a project that doesn't provide a n key for my items I need a breadcrumb navigation that doesn't contain error messages in order to avoid the impression that my data is faulty.
